JENNINGS, La, March Is, 1887.
Editor Lake Charles Echo.
The Interstate Convention which
convened at your beautiful city of Lake
Charles recently, is one of the pleas
ATTEST recolections of my life. The
pleasant ride from the depot, in com.
pany with gentlemen Of culture; the
pleasant guests at Capt. Halls in the
Lake House the excellent appearance
and excellent speeches on the plat
form the good appearance, behavior
and interest of the large audience
room and everything else which is
lovely and pleasant and beautiful, has
left an indelible impression on my
heart in favor of Louisiana and all
the Inhabitants thereof.
As I was taking in the convention
I was proud to see it represented with
such men as Gov. McEnery, Col. Bird,
Col. Harris, Col. Hillyard, Hon. 6. H.
Wells, Prot. s. A. Knapp, Thad.
Mayo, ESQ.,, w. W. Duson, ESQ.,, J.
W. Bryai, Esq, and hosts of others.
I was born in Wales, have travelled
from sea to sea in the United States,
but never saw a more orderly gather
ing and better behaved and appre-
cIatiye audience.
Hon. L. s. Coffin, with his warm
heart and wise head did much to make
our convention such a glorious sue
cess. Its effects are wonderful already.
Letters are pouring to me constantly
to inquire if these things are so. The
pamphlets of J. B. Watkins and Co.,
and also of our undefatigable good
friend s. L. Cary, Esq, are making the
people in the cold regions open their
eyes and they ask me if the state
ments can be possibly true2 I answer
them, yes; and be sure to come and
see for yourselves. Most of these let
ters are coming from Dakota, Min
nesoto and Nebraska, several colonies
of from 20 to 25 are said to be soon
on their way. Let them come, for
they all claim to be peaceful, intelli-
gent, Industrious, law-abiding and
God-fearing people.
Jennings is still on a boom. Geo.
Child and Mr.. Tyler, and DR. Burke's
sister have completed their dwellings
since I wrote last. Mr.. Burke's reIa-
tives are here from Dacorah, Iowa,
and many land seekers hunting for
homes. Col. E. R. Shankland has
moved from the hotel, and NJ. j. Har-
ris has moved in and is ready to wait
on his numerous customers. Our
church at Jennings is well attended.
After preaching here next Sabbath
morning l have the good fortune of
going to preach at the growing and
interesting town of Crowley in the
afternoon. Yours, Mr.. Editor, as hap
py as Adam in the garden,

PHLADEIPHIA, March 1S.---At the
meeting Of the hospital COMMITTEES Of
the Board Of Guardians Of the Poor
to-day, DR.. 7. N. Mclaughlin, physi-
clan, chief Of the Philadelphia Hos
pitaI, presented i report Of the suc-
cess of the treatment adopted about q
month ago for patients IN tho institu-
ton suffering from consumption.
He said that so far tho success OF
the treatment was almost marvellous,
and in the cases which it was agreed
to submit TO the methods adopted no
other has been used. DIR. McLaughlin
first obtained the idea from paper
read before the College Of Sciences, at
a recent meeting IN Paris, by 0ne Of
the professors in the University Of
Lyons.
II was recommended SO highly, and
had shown such surprising resultH in
France, that DR.. Mclaughlin decided
to test it in the hospital. He ex-
planned the treatment to the patients,
when thirty Of them agreed to submit
to the operation. To these patients,
who we're considered to be suffering
from the last stages of consumption,
two rectal injections of carbonic acid
gas, prepared by the process given BY
the French physician, were given each
day, all the medicine being abandoned.
The patients at once began to show
signs Of improvement, henight swents
ceased, as if by magic, the almost con-
stant pains from which they suffered
vanished, the secretions Of the body
we're regular and became natural, and
the appetite returned. The sick grew
brighter and stronger each day, and
since the beginning of the treatment
one of the number has gained twelve
pounds in weight, and others have
gained from three to five pounds IN
the same time.
How far the improvement will con-
tinue under the treatment cannot be
Judged, but the results have been so
satisfactory that DIR. Mclaughlin has
abandoned all other remedies in the
treatment Of patients who can be in
duced to try the operation, and he is
SO agreeably surprised at the results
that he feels almost ready to say that
a cure for consumption, which has
always been considered fatal whom
once developed, has been found.

Growing Grass.

Bossier Banner,
Years of observation have satisfied
US that one of the greatest needs of
the South is grass-grass for hay and
grass for fertilizfng. Without a ro-
tation of crops there cannot be any
successful agriculture and without
grass or clover there cannot be any
successful rotation Of crops, nor with
out these or other feeding crops can
there be any manure at all adequate
to the necessities of the land. This
has been the experience of the success
full farmers of the North, and it will
prove equally true in the South.
The great advantages of grass and
clover are the roots and stubble of
these crops, and the occasional plow-
ing under of the whole growth, which
furnishes large amount of fertilizing
matter. This is and has long been
the practice North, but it has been
almost unknown in the South, and in
consequence the yield of the crops
commonly grown, and which are ex-
ceedingly exhaustive, is becoming
more meagre and less profitable. This
is proved by the general average as
shown by the Agricultural Depart
ment, by which ii is seen that the
yield Of cotton is about loo pounds to
the acre, worth at the present price
less than SO, while the yield of corn
is no more than seven to ten bushels
in the majority of cases, and that of
wheat is no more. This is the in-
evitable result of the present system,
in which grass has no place at all
Grass, however, iourishes as well in
the South as anywhere else, and some
Indigenous varieties grow here to a
perfection known to no other section
of the Union. For permanent pasture
and hay the Bermuda grass is excel
lent. 1t is impossible to kill it, ex-
cept BY blowing and cultiyating, be-
cause Of its peculiar habit, which gives
it special value for field growth. II
yields a large quantity Of hay, and the
finest pasture.

The following from an exchange is
applicable to a few nnmskulls who in
fest many communities:
IA local newspaper is often accused
of being biased in regard to giving
personal notes or mentioning the COM
ing and going of some and emitting
others, but the accusation is entirely
unjust. The faults are with the peo-
pie and not with the paper. We are
always ready and even anxious to pub
lish everything of interest to the pub
lie, but country newspaper cannot
afford to have a score Of local report
ers. If you have visitors let as know
who they are and whore they come
from. If anything happens in your
vicinity let US know about IL; il there
is party at your place, furnish us
with the items; if you get married let
us know if You die come and tell us;
if you know anything let US know
about it. Yon will find US ready to
notice one as well as another, patron
or otherwise, friends or foes. Our oh
ject is to give the news"

MARY and walHsaua College.

There is sad illustration Of the
deeadence Of the power in the present
of that once famous and prosperous
institution of learning, the Mary and
William College, the first endowed
College in America. In order to pre-
serve the State charter it is necessary
that the college bell should be rnng
every day, and as there is neither
school nor pupils the duty devolyes
on the president. Every day, storm
or sunshine, the lonely professor may
be seen vending his way to the old
college, and soon the melancholy sound
Of the school bell wakes the echoes in
the silent and deserted building pre-
serves the sad memorial of happier
days to the city of jamestown and
State of Virginia. Il is, indeed, a
mournfal commentary upon departed
greatness, but there are hopes that It
may yet be resnscitated as sea OF
knowledge.

Good Results in Every Case.

D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper
dealer of Chattanooga, Tenn, writes,
that he was seriously afflicted with q
severe cold that settled on his lungs;
had tried many remedies without bene-
fit. Being induced to try DR.. King g
New Discovery for Consumption, did
so, and was entirely cured by the use Of
a few bottles. Since which time he has
used il in his family for AZ Coughs and
Colds with best results. This is the ex-
perience of thousands whose lives have
been saved by thisWonderfulD Discovery.

THE intelligence that a wealthy cot
ton seed oil company, in which the
great Amour pork and lard company
of Chicago are interested, has been
organized, for the purpose of erecting
twelve large oil mills in the South this
year, is indeed gratifying, because it
will interfere for some time at least
with the extortionate operations of
the American Oil Trust monopoly,
that had fastened itselfupon the coun-
try, with the full purpose Of grinding
every cent of profit there is in cotton
seed out of the planters.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part Of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times, symptoms OF indi-
gestion are present, aatulency, uneasiness OF
the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, Is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application Of DR.. Bosanko's g Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and etfeeting a permanent
cure. Price so cents. Address The DR.. Bo-

The wonderful, woful city
Below my window lies,
And a rush of love and pity
Bedews my gazing eyes.

The grass Is green and sweet,
And the broad path through is trodden
By thousand hurrying feet,
For every man and woman
That tread that granite stair,

too know want and care ~
And my heart goes out like river
To reach its kindred sea;
For the sad, and glad, and lonely,
Are each akin to me.

That speaks mans despair,
And the child's abounding gladness
Still finds an echo there.

Almost all done for me:
That the pain Of loved and lover
Is passed to history;
That life has come and tried me,
That living Is not begun
That the doubtful, anxious morning
Yields to the setting sun.
But out Of pain and passion,
Dead as the streets gray dust,
Has sprung bloom eternal
OF steady hope and trust.
And my heart speaks in it's longing
Dumb to the throngs below
"Oh weary men and brothers,
Look up from want aud woe !
"Look to the heaven above you
There in His holy place
The Father loOlketh downward,
With tender, pttying grace.
"There stands the Man of Sorrows,
Who suffered even as you;
With hunger, pain and thwartPd love
He fought, and conquered, too.

OF every human heart
In every mortal anguish

Removing Serious Obstruction
Gently,

Dynamite and giant powder might
answer admirably to remove obstruc-
tons from He'll Gate in East River,
New York, but explosive measures in
medication are ever attended with dis
astrous consequences. For instance,
the bowels cannot be violently drenched
with safety, nor is there the slightest
necessity for so doing. On the contrary,
it is most unwise. None but the pur-
blind adherents of sntiquated theories
in medicine advise or sanction such a
course. To weaken the intestines-the
effect of drastic purgation-is to COM
promise the health of the entire
system. With Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, on the other hand. the bowels
are relaxed, not by a CONFUSION of
nature approximatlng to an eruption of
Mt. Popocatapeti, but gradually,
beneticially, without wrenching or
drenching. The liver and stomach, as
well as the bowels, are toned and bene-
fitted by it.
